RESEARCH
INTEREST
The lithium-air system captured worldwide attention in 2009
as a possible battery for electric vehicle propulsion
applications. Li–air battery comprises a Li-containing
anode, an electrolyte and an air cathode. Electrochemical
power sources based on [anodemetal|electrolyte|cathodeoxygen]
configuration have the highest energy density because the
cathode active material (oxygen) is not stored in the
battery, but can be accessed from the environment. There is
a good reason to give a proper attention to lithium as an
anode material for metal/air battery on the ground of an
outstanding specific capacity of its anode material (3842
mAhg−1).
Substantial Li-air
cell performance limitations are related to the air cathode.
My work is to develop air cathodes with hierarchical,
several levels pore structure, which will maintain adequate
transport of oxygen and Li+ toward the active,
electron-conducting surfaces.
